The Academy delivered the closing Olympic Values Education and Anti-Doping sessions of the Youth Athlete Development Programme, part of the Road to Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games pathway.
The Youth Athlete Development Programme, organised by RNOSC with the support of Olympic Solidarity, supported young table tennis athletes Didier Munezero and Kamikazi Elisabeth through training camps held from 23–29 December 2025 and 28 January–3 February 2026.
Speaking to the trainees, the Director of the National Olympic Academy of Rwanda, Albert Kayiranga, emphasised the importance of core Olympic values in both sport and everyday life: “Excellence, Friendship, and Respect should guide you not only during competition, but also in your daily lives. Above all, you must show respect to your opponents, because that is the true spirit of sport.”
